Books with title Festivals

What do festivals look like? Are all festivals the same? Why do people go to festivals? This picture book contains stunning photography from around the world to captivate young learners and inspire questions about festivals. The first text appears in detailed parent and teacher notes at the end of the book. These notes contain information about the content and suggestions for discussion about festivals, including suggestions for a variety of ways in which the book can be used.

'Festivals' and 'My Family and Friends' launch an exciting series of craft resources for children age 6+: over 25 templates in each book that you simply photocopy, cut and fold to create a multitude of books, cards, masks, models and decorations on a favourite theme. You can enlarge them, reduce them, copy them on plain or coloured paper, and because they are photocopiable, create them over and over again. Each template comes with instructions for the children to follow, which can be used to support literacy teaching; lots of ideas for decorating and developing the projects; and background notes on the themes. Paul Johnson's ideas are simple, original, guaranteed to enliven school projects and produce impressive results with minimum preparation.

Each book in this new series explores an aspect of life that young readers will recognize. It explains how people around the world have needs and activities in common, and how these can be similar in different parts of the world. The books include: - Bright, full-colour photographs to support the text - Clear explanations of concepts in accessible text - Glossary, list of more books to read and index
